    Old Country Store (Intercourse, PA) Closes

    I just received this message by email:

    After 35 years of business, The Old Country Store has unexpectedly needed to close its doors.

    No reason was given. I'm surprised as this store was always busy when I went there. Not a big as some of the other Lancaster county stores though.

    such a surprising email - I'm hoping it's not due to family illness...but just can't imagine why they felt the need to shut down so quickly

    I am not sure that this was due to economy, but maybe poor fiscal management. Either way, its sad. Especially since they opened the beautiful quilt museum upstairs.

    I agree with the poor fiscal management. The owner siphoned the money out of his successful stores to finance an off-Broadway show. Dumb thing to do.
